Subject: Question about nct6775 regarding MFD
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2025 10:34:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a0164db0-e234-44ac-8584-a14f0b625181@siemens.com> (raw)
Hi folks,
we are currently refactoring some parts of the
"drivers/platform/x86/siemens/*" which has references to some
Nuvoton Super-I/O chips. One of them is the nct6775.
The driver in question is not implemented as MFD, even though MFD would
have fit perfectly for it (or am I wrong?).
My question now:
Why wasn't the driver implemented as an MFD? Was MFD discussed during
your upstreaming-related conversations?
Kind regards,
Benedikt
